Cookies and Cream Ice Cream
No need to visit your favorite ice cream shop! You just need simple ingredients to make this creamy vanilla ice cream loaded with plenty of chunks of Oreos.
Ingredients
- 1 cup milk
- 4 egg yolks well beaten
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ⅛ tsp salt
- 4 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups heavy cream or whipping cream
- 1 ½ cups crushed Oreo cookies
Instructions
- Combine milk, egg yolks, sugar, and salt in a saucepan. Whisk together till blended well.
- Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture barely comes to a boil. Remove from the heat.
- Pour the egg mixture through a fine mesh strainer to remove any lumps.
- Cover and chill till cold. (I usually put the pan in a sinkful of ice water to speed the process.)
- Stir in the vanilla and cream.
- Pour the ice cream base into an ice cream machine and churn according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- When it has frozen to a soft ice cream consistency, pour in the chunks of Oreos.
- Transfer the ice cream to a freezer-safe container. Place in the freezer to harden for 2-3 hours.
